“Not eating after noon” for weight loss and health? Remember four phrases before dinner, or you may become a “slim beauty”
Now is an era that admires slim people. If you want others to notice you, you must be thin. As the temperature rises, our fats can no longer hide under our coats to sleep, so everyone starts to lose weight vigorously. Many people skip dinner to lose weight. If you are also using this method, I advise you to give up quickly. This approach not only does not help with weight loss but also affects our health. Let me tell you about a healthy and effective way to lose weight.
Why can’t dinner be a sacrifice for weight loss?
In life, many people think that missing one meal a day won’t harm them. Moreover, people around them have slimmed down this way, so they want to try it too. While we do need to control our food intake for weight loss, it doesn’t mean we should skip meals. Skipping dinner is not only unscientific but can also hinder our weight loss progress.
A senior Chinese medicine practitioner told us that the reason for obesity is the excessive dampness in our spleen and stomach. The accumulation of a large amount of dampness in the body is difficult to eliminate and affects the overall balance of the body. Skipping dinner for a long time will affect the absorption of nutrients in our body, leading to malnutrition-induced obesity, weakening our spleen and stomach organs, making it even harder to resolve dampness, and causing us to gain more weight. Also, skipping dinner may make us feel very hungry at midnight. People with weak willpower may start binge eating, leading to more harm than good.
Remember these four phrases before dinner, which may help reduce your belly:
If you want to lose weight, dinner should be between 6-7 pm and should not go beyond 8 pm even if delayed. This gives your intestines enough time to digest food before you sleep, ensuring no impact on your sleep quality and digestion.
When eating, remember not to eat randomly. The sequence of eating is important for weight loss. The best sequence is: vegetables – high-protein foods – carbohydrates. This order minimizes fat absorption, increases satiety, and slows down the rise of blood sugar.
Eat until you are 70% full normally, but during weight loss, eating half full is sufficient. Eating until hunger disappears is considered half full. If you feel hungry before sleep, you can have an apple. This kind of eating is not only healthy but also aids in weight loss.
